What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (electrical wiring) that poses a significant risk of fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain 2023-2024 Interstate 24 and Interstate 19 motorhomes. The recall addresses a defect in the electrical system where the main cable from the battery to the fuse panel is under-protected by a 200-amp fuse.

Dealers will replace the 200-amp fuse with a 50-amp fuse, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 14, 2023.
